Road Rage, Books & Gardening

I needed to be out of the door early this morning so gave Peter a lift to the station. Dropped him at the Airport Station as there are road works all around the town station. Decided go go to work part motorway and them come off at the first junction to pop into Sainsburys. In a one mile stretch of motorway I had a stupid DHL van suddenly try and pull into my lane whilst all three lanes were queuing - I couldn't find the horn quickly enough, so much flashing of lights went on followed by the horn when I found it! Then idiot number two who had been cruising in the middle lane overtaking no-one decided to take a leisurely manoeuvre to half way across the slow lane - no indicating, no quick correction of his mistake - he just drifted back again - probably under the influence of something I think.

After getting of the road to hell as quickly as possibly I nipped into Sainsers to get a batch of greetings cards and treated myself to a book I had seen recommended on Richard & Judy yesterday "No Time for Goodbye" by Linwood Barclay - the premise of the book sounds fascinating......

"Synopsis
On the morning she will never forget, suburban teenager Cynthia Archer awakes with a nasty hangover and a feeling she is going to have an even nastier confrontation with her mom and dad. But when she leaves her bedroom, she discovers the house is empty, with no sign of her parents or younger brother Todd. In the blink of an eye, without any explanation, her family has simply disappeared. Twenty-five years later Cynthia is still haunted by unanswered questions. Were her family murdered? If so, why was she spared? And if they're alive, why did they abandon her in such a cruel way? Now married with a daughter of her own, Cynthia fears that her new family will be taken from her just as her first one was. And so she agrees to take part in a TV documentary revisiting the case, in the hope that somebody somewhere will remember something - or even that her father, mother or brother might finally reach out to her...Then a letter arrives which makes no sense and yet chills Cynthia to the core. And soon she begins to realise that stirring up the past could be the worst mistake she has ever made..."

Can't wait to read it. That's the trouble with me I'm still in the early stages of my current book and another one catches my eye - I think I need to factor in more reading time into my days.

Work was manic again today and we had so many interruptions, I just got into typing something and either the phone would ring or someone would come through the door. I was working on three sets of minutes and sent them through to my boss and hoped not to see them for a bit but he turned them round really quickly so I was back staring at them again in no time when I really just wanted to concentrate on something else for a bit - sigh.

As soon as I got home I mowed the back lawn, just in time before a shower of rain came, and then emptied out the gas metre cupboard ready for our new gas metre installation tomorrow.

I feel I have done more than enough today so I'm chilling out with episode 4 of Criminal Justice.
